BIOGRAPHY

Robert Priest (born July 10, 1951, in Walton-on-Thames, England) is a Canadian poet, childrens author and singer/songwriter. He has written ten books of poetry, two childrens novels, three childrens albums, and four CDs of songs and poems. Under the alias of Dr Poetry, Priest has also performed on CBC Radios spoken-word show Wordbeat and is well known for his aphorisms and his hit Song Instead of a Kiss. His adult poetry is wide-ranging, while his childrens poetry is more tender, underpinned with utopian hopefulness. Canadian novelist and short story writer Barbara Gowdy has described him as the voice of the people and the angels, entwined and the Toronto Star has called him passionate, cocky, alternately adoring and insulting. Priests plays, novels and songs have earned him awards and recognition in Canadian literary circles and a growing worldwide readership. His fourth CD of songs was called Feeling the Pinch.
